  • • Open a file named “number_list.txt” with the “r” mode using the “open()” method to read data from the file and assign the object into the “numberInFile” variable.
  • • Read all the numbers from the file using the “read()” method and store the contents into “contents” variable.
  • • Display the file values on the screen.
  • • Close the file using the method “close()”.

Form should mentioned write a For loop that iterates through a list of products (any number of products) that are sold in a store and prints them. [examples: fan, fridge, freezer, washer, etc.]. b) copy the code from a) and use the same loop to add more products(any)to the list. You must use list methods to add. c) Copy the code from c), and search for a specific product (any), if the product is found the loop is terminated. Make sure to use else in the for loop. d) Create an empty dictionary, then add 4 entries (the key is a word, the value is word’s frequency in a book). [example: {‘street’: 23}]. e) Create a for loop to access the entries from d) and print the keys and values. f) Copy the code from e) and search for a specific key in the dictionary and prints its value. The program prints a message “ the {key} is not found”, if the key does not exist. Mm.
GirlNames.txt This file contains a list of the 200 most popular names given to girls born in the United States from the year 2000 through 2009.  BoyNames.txt This file contains a list of the 200 most popular names given to boys born in the United States from the year 2000 through 2009. Write a program that reads the contents of the two files into two separate lists. The user should be able to enter a boy’s name, a girl’s name, or both, and the application will display messages indicating whether the names were among the most popular. **programming language is python** ** must use a def main(): function** *please include some comments*  i aslo have the .txt files but no wya to upload them
